KUALA LUMPUR -- The Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU) has played a crucial role in attracting more investments, said International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

"We have done very well in investments, we surpassed our RM148 million per annum target," he said after the launching of the Government Transformation Programme and Economic Transformation Programme 2014 Annual Report in Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday.

PEMANDU, which introduced the programmes, also monitors their progress.

"Compared to before, the situation is more orderly, systematic and efficient, through the transformation brought about by the programmes," Mustapa said.

Among others, he said, the government has introduced a number of projects that have resulted in 1.5 million jobs being created, important to young people and enabling the country to achieve full employment.
